FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — If the Fort St. John Senior Flyers have any hope of a comeback in their first-round North Peace Hockey League (NPHL) first-round series, it must begin on Thursday.

The Flyers are down 2-0 in the best-of-seven series with the Dawson Creek Canucks, being outscored a combined 17-4 in the process.

While maintaining a sense of competitiveness throughout, head coach Eric Nystoruk says the Flyers lack depth because they are missing key players such as Josh Robinson and assistant captain Jordan Gies.

“[Jordan] is a leader on and off the ice,” said Nystoruk.  “[Josh] is one of our top penalty killers. Those losses are huge.

“Game three is a must-win for us.  It doesn’t happen very often [that] teams can come back down three games.”

Puck drop is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. on February 13th at Memorial Arena in Dawson Creek. For more information, visit the Flyers’ Facebook page.
